This training offers an in-depth exploration of foundational components in conducting effective couple therapy. Beginning with an overview of how to assess a couple as a dynamic relational system, participants will learn to gather clinically relevant information that informs treatment planning and intervention. The course will address common self-of-the-therapist (SOTT) issues that can emerge in early sessions, helping clinicians build awareness of their own reactions and biases that may impact the therapeutic process. This training covers history taking, the strategic use of homework in couple therapy, helping clinicians assign and process tasks that support treatment goals, and more.
